Every time you flush an older model toilet, you’re effectively flushing away money. You’re also wasting water in the process, a major sticking point in today’s eco-conscious world. There are many reasons why your next remodeling project should include a toilet replacement, not least of which is modernizing the look of your bathroom.
First of all, throw away your preconceived notions about low flow toilets. It’s true that the earliest runs of eco-friendly toilets were badly received by the public. Since then, more functional designs have taken the place of those first models. Today’s low flow and dual flush toilets are far more effective as well as being much more efficient.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that a single older toilet can account for up to to twenty-seven percent of household water use. If you have a leaky model in your bathroom, it can waste anywhere up to two hundred gallons of water each day. Homeowners connected to a municipal sewer and water system will find that they save money on their monthly bills. Because less water is used and flushed away, you’re being billed for less water with every flush.
Septic system users will significantly decrease the amount of waste water flowing into the septic tank. That means longer periods between septic tank cleanings and the potential for fewer costly repairs. Thousands of fewer gallons pushed through your plumbing system translates to real money savings, so it’s wise to consider replacing older toilets. It’s an investment that will pay for itself in the long run, especially if your existing toilet is prone to wasteful, costly leakage. Your plumber can assist you in finding and installing the best model for your needs on the market.
